The eight projects will support the AFCC Heritage Center which is managed by Headquarters, Cyberspace Capabilities Center (HQ CCC). The curator will ensure the projects conform to the contract as well as the existing heritage center master plan (See 3.0 Master Plan).

The contractor is to Commission a museum/exhibit design firm to research, plan, design, update, modify, fabricate, transport, install, program where necessary, and budget for future updates/upkeep eight projects and exhibits as outlined in the attached existing Air Force Cyberspace and Communications (AFCC) Heritage Center Master Plan.

1 Tactical Communications Exhibit: Install concrete pad with artifacts modified for outdoor display.

2 Ground Control Station (GCS) Exhibit: An exhibit containing a modified unmanned aerial vehicle ground control station, a scale model hanging communications satellite, and a scale model hanging remotely piloted aircraft.

3 Hall of Fame Exhibit: An exhibit with large multimedia touch panel displays and cabinetry for a Hall of Fame.

4 Update Switchboard Exhibit: Renovate and update existing World War II era switchboard exhibit.

5 New Grant Exhibit: Relocate, renovate, and update existing Lt Gen Harold W. Grant exhibit.

6 Website with Digital Walkthrough: Create a digital version of the heritage center with digital walkthroughs and information for posting and creating an online website.
